Re: Stomach sleepers
I started sleeping Rylan on his belly at about 6 weeks. It was the only way he would sleep.

Re: Stomach sleepers
We let DD start sleeping on her tummy around 12 weeks. It's the only way she ever slept more than a couple of hours. Now at almost 18 months she still sleeps on her tummy 90% of the time.
I agree with PP, tight sheets, no toys, no blankets. I even removed bumpers because DD would always scooch up into the corners.

So it seemed to work. I called my aunt who works as a pediatric doctor and she FREAKED out on me. I cant do this anymore. She told me to get zantac- now out of shear anxiety I cant do that anymore 
Im really just at a loss.
My ped said the same thing. He told me before the back to sleep campaign 1 in 500 babies was dying of SIDS.
Once back to sleep went into effect the numbers went to 1 in 10,000
He said there was a study that showed kids put to sleep at daycare on their bellies(naps) also had higher incidence of SIDS even if they were on their backs at night.
Scared me and I do not put my reflux baby on his belly anymore. He sleeps in his infant to toddler rocker reclined all the way. He is also on prevacid 30 mg a day
ETA: I haven't researched these stats on my own so I am not saying they are accurate but everyone has to do what they are comfortable with

Re: Stomach sleepers
My DS has slept on his belly since about 5 or 6 weeks. I also have a motion monitor that does not have a lot of false alarms, and it allows us all to sleep. DS is a great sleeper, been sleeping through the night since about 9 weeks.

I started with naps & then moved on to nighttime. It was a hard decision but the right one for my kids. No toys in the crib, no blankets & tight sheets.
It's only something you can do when you're ready.
Same here. I did wait until they had very good head and neck control too.

I think thats what Im going to have to do. She just slept on her belly again on my chest for a solid 45 min. Thats just it...but I guess Ill deal with a cranky lady until then.

My DD cant roll yet though. She dosent even really pick her head up well yet so she just terrified me.
Because of this reason I would not recommend letting her sleep on her belly. I hate that DD is sleeping on her belly now- it scares me. That said, she IS able to roll and pick her head up, so that's the only reason I am allowing her.
Only a few more weeks and she'll be rolling I'm sure- then you can rest easy.
